A knower and a clearer. Do not be an opponent of yourself against your Lord seeking to increase your provision and prestige. Rather, be an opponent of your Lord against yourself. Do not gather with yourself against yourself, and do not treat anyone with disdain and belittlement, even if he is a polytheist for fear of your punishment. Perhaps you will rob him of knowledge and He will provide for it. Dhu al-Nun said, “Seek refuge in God from the Nabataean.” It was said, “Whoever is a polytheist.” If a Coptic is surprised, this is a wondrous and tested commandment.
